Bath resealing for Snape homes

Bath resealing in Snape, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Snape

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Snape. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Snape

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does bath resealing cost in Snape?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
